Hello, I hope you can help my concern. My 5 year old son has been having random skin symptoms that seem to occur every couple months. He is currently having them now and I am wondering if I need to take him to an allergist to be tested. The last time before this I took him to his pediatrician several times with in a week. She was convinced that it was bug bites. It started with a large welt that appeared on the tip of his ear resembling a mosquito bite. He then got more behind his ear. The next morning he had several on his back side and legs. The ones on his legs then formed water blisters. When I took him the first time they told me they were bites and sent me home. I took him back the same day because between the doctors office and home new bumps formed. She still was convinced they were bites. I had an exterminator out who cleared us of any bugs. After 2 weeks of the bumps turning to blisters, scabing over, new forming and then clearing the symptoms stopped for a few months. Just a week ago his father found a spider on his head in the car. He had 4 bites behind his ear after. One on his leg and one on his back that both formed blisters and scabbed over. Thinking maybe the doctor was right, I left them to heal. A few days later he woke with three new bumps on his back again looking like bites. They have swelled and I m sure again will form water blisters then scab over. I am just not convinced these are bug bites. My concern is he his having a reaction to some contact with something he is sensitive to or having a food reaction. I apologize if my letter is scattered, I can t seem to pin point this in anyway. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
